The guide to making Cubiko - Step 1

My next series of entries will be a step by step guide on how to make a cubiko game. I recently bought a nifty camera so I'm thinking each entry will come with at least 1 photo. That way I'll learn how the camera works, it's got so many buttons and stuff. Anyway onto step 1 - Get wood. Yes you'll need plenty of wood as all Cubiko games are made from this stuff. I use Sapele but I suppose any wood will do, just get your neighbours permission before you hack down their prized conifers. Er, no photo of the wood yet 1) I've not worked out how to use this camera and 2) I'm out of stock of the raw ingredient.
